ExcellentPlage la Charmeuse is the southernmost beach of Le Prêcheur and therefore the closest to the town. It is also a black sand beach, like all the others in the municipality.
It is little frequented, and bathers are mainly residents.
Small rocks sometimes replace the sand on the beach, so be sure to bring appropriate footwear to avoid sore feet.
From the beach, you'll have a magnificent view of the town and, in particular, the church, whose bell tower was built in the 17th century as a gift from King Louis XIV to the Marquise de Maintenon. Indeed, the Marquise, secret wife of the Sun King, adored Martinique and especially Le Prêcheur, where she spent part of her life.
A small bridge nearby is the starting point for a tour of the Prêcheur coves, where an alcoholic snack is offered at the end of the course.
To get there from Fort-de-France, take the N2 towards Saint-Pierre, then once in Saint-Pierre, the D10 towards Le Prêcheur. Shortly after the village, a sign announces the entrance to the beach.
